These two were sitting right next to the road and only had eyes for the buffalo. We could just imagine what was going through their heads! The expressions on their faces were priceless - exactly like my dog when he is expecting his food!

The other one soon followed. By now a traffic jam was starting to build and as we were actually on our way to Phalaborwa and still want to stop at Sable Hide, we decided to leave. Just a few meters on we spotted a lone lioness on the left. There were probably more lions, but the mopanie-bush was very thick and we were highly satisfied with our sighting of the two brothers!

Before we "discovered" the treasures of Tihongoyeni and the Tropic of Capricorn Loop, we paid a visit to Stapelkop Dam and drove the Shongolo Loop. The latter road was a big disappointment - all the pans were dry!But the birds did not disappoint!Stapelkop Dam road is always good for raptors
